Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

Gu Junxiu didn't know how to answer her, so if he were to say who it was directly, he would inevitably have the intention of revealing it to her behind his back.

Just then, Ruan Xiaonuan suddenly remembered something that Fu Dian had said to her that morning. She said with certainty,

"Is it a lotus?" Without waiting for him to speak, she asked,

"Does Miss Chu also think that it's me?"

"She drank your lotus congee this morning, so of course she wouldn't suspect anyone else." Gu Junxiu said indifferently.

Ruan Xiaonuan was even more disappointed when she found out that Chu Ying suspected her as well. Previously, she had always treated her as a friend she had made in the Imperial Palace. She had not expected that she did not even have the basic trust. Could it be that there really was no true love in the palace compound? she asked herself. After a long time, she calmly asked,

"How does Your Highness plan to punish me?" Gu Junxiu didn't expect that she didn't even say a word of excuse as he asked in a surprised tone.

"Don't you have any objections?"

"Of course!" It was just that Chu Ying was not even here right now. No matter how much she objected in her heart, she could not find the person who was in confrontation, so there was no meaning in saying it out loud.

Gu Jun saw the unwillingness in her eyes the most. He knew that this little fellow wouldn't let it go so easily. However, he was not sure if she was the culprit behind the poison. So his tone wasn't very good.

"If it's really you who poisoned it, you know what the consequences would be."

Ruan Xiaonuan laughed indifferently, because she knew that this matter was set up by someone. As for why Chu Ying was going to target her, she still didn't understand. And that day, something happened to the lotus, which was also a very strange thing.

She clearly knew that the lotus seed porridge was about to recover, but she left. This was completely unlike what a palace maid should do. These things all seemed suspicious.

When Gu Junxiu saw her delicate eyebrows knitted together, he thought that she was still afraid and said softly.

"If you really did it, just say it and this king will deal with you."

Not only did Ruan Xiaonuan not feel anything from him, she was extremely disgusted with what he had just said, as if she had already known for a long time that she was the one who had poisoned him.

"No matter what you want to do with it, Your Highness, I will not admit to what I have not done." she said stubbornly. Gu Junxiu looked at her angrily and said.

"It's very late today. You can go down first. This King will deal with this matter tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he took the lead to leave, causing Ruan Xiaonuan to look at his back in disappointment. She and Gu Junxiu could be considered the closest person to her, but she didn't believe her at all. She quickly left the Zhaoyang Palace. She wanted to return as soon as possible to rest so she could have enough energy to deal with these things tomorrow.

But lying in bed, he couldn't sleep, no matter what he did. As long as she closed her eyes, Gu Junxiu's cold face, Chu Ying's smiling face and her blaming look, would all appear in front of her, making it impossible for her to fall asleep.

The next day she appeared in front of them, staring into the darkness. When Fu Dian saw her, he did not care that Gu Junxiu was still here, and immediately rushed out to say:

"Why do you want to harm the girl? There is no enmity between you and her. "

Ruan Xiaonuan did not care about her, taking a look around, and realised the order of the group was huge, all the famous people in Zhaoyang Palace were all here, it seemed like Chu Ying was really important to him. She smiled mockingly in her heart and bowed respectfully.

Other than Chu Ying's continuous coughing, there was no other sound in the hall. Everyone held their breath as they waited for Gu Junxiu to speak. He was wearing a white shirt and a mask, looking like an elegant gentleman.

However, because he was sitting there, everyone in the hall felt a sense of relief. This was because he gave off an imposing aura that made others submit involuntarily even if they didn't speak. After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said,

"Xiao Wenzi, why did you poison Chu Ying?" She lifted her head to look at Chu Ying, and when she felt her gaze, she tilted her head to the side, as if she didn't dare meet her eyes. Ruan Xiaonuan didn't give her any chance to escape, and directly asked her.

"Miss Chu thinks that I'm the one who harmed you? Why do you think so? Just because of a bowl of lotus seed porridge? "

Because of her continuous questions, a guilty conscience appeared in Chu Ying's eyes, but because she lowered her eyes, no one noticed her abnormality. When she raised her head again, she said with a sad look on her face,

"Little Eunuch Ruan, I've taken you as my bosom friend, but you actually gave me a bowl of poisoned lotus seed congee." As he spoke, tears actually began to flow out of his eyes.

Her pitiful appearance caused many people to feel sympathy for her, Hua Qingse was one of them. He did not look as calm as she usually did, and said to Ruan Xiaonuan.

"You made that bowl of porridge and gave it to Junior Sister. After eating it, she was poisoned. If you didn't make it, could it be that someone poisoned her from the air?"

He was truly worthy of being Gu Junxiu's most proud advisor. His words completely blocked Ruan Xiaonuan, and he simply did not know how to refute. She stared at Chu Ying and said.

"Why do you think I want to harm you? "Could it be that you've taken a fancy to your beauty, but love cannot destroy it?" Ruan Xiaonuan was a modern person, so these words were very normal to her.

However, to the ears of others, they felt as if their bones were being exposed. Furthermore, she had the appearance of a eunuch, and the words that she said just now were meant to tease Chu Ying. Even Gu Junxiu was stunned for a moment before speaking.

"Speak properly. If something like that reappears, the crime will be even greater."

Ruan Xiaonuan looked at the crowd in puzzlement. She completely did not understand why she would become even more guilty. She said unhappily,

"I was just assuming. Why are you guys being so serious?" They were truly a bunch of inflexible people.

A flush appeared on Chu Ying's pale face, but it was unknown if it was due to anger or embarrassment. Although she was unable to answer what Ruan Xiaonuan had just said, she still said with certainty.

"No matter what, you have the most chance. Although I don't know why you want to kill me." In fact, she wanted to open up the dispute between Ruan Xiaonuan and Yue Yang in front of everyone, but she was afraid of him, so she could only give up on this idea.

Ruan Xiaonuan had completely recognized what kind of person Chu Ying was this time. She had only used him previously, not really considered him a friend.

Back then, she had been tricked by her seemingly gentle appearance. But now, she was still trying to gain the sympathy of others with the intention of putting her to death.
